Photo Restoration - Preserving and archiving your precious old photos
Photo restoration is a very rewarding service that Sparkling Graphics & Design provides in the Comox Valley. Preserving history through restoration is a skill that Linda has successfully acquired over time and with lots of patience.
The degree of success in restoring a photo is determined by how badly damaged the photo is. Colour depth and scratches can be corrected but significant tears, water, fire, or light damage may be more challenging but not impossible. Linda will be able to determine if the photo can indeed be restored to near satisfaction and will work with the original colour, depth and look of the old antique photo.
Why would or should photos be restored? The most common reason is the sentimental, historical value to the owner of the photos, so they can be preserved or archived on CD or in a book or photo album. Anybody who dabbles in their family tree will be interested in preserving old photos to pass down to the next generation. There is nothing more appealing than a century old restored sepia-coloured framed photo of your ancestors hanging on the wall in that special room of your home.
Restorations start at $55.00 and up. Call for a free consultation to accurately access the amount of time needed on each photo(s).
